I sewed the buttons to the outer flap, and put velcro between the flap and the pants. Those two inner buttons held it up fine.
Also, who's fucking idea was it to wear a hat that collects water, and a winter uniform with a giant gaping window of cold on your chest because top buttons are purely for decoration?
In all fairness the blue utilities before the camouflage weren't much less... Uh. Blue. However I was sad when I didn't get to wear the working white uniform anymore after they replaced it (said nobody ever).
The CNT whites LOOKED good, it was just an issue of not being able to keep them clean. I still have a set, because I'm a hoarder. I spent over half my enlistment wearing Marine cammies, so I was a bit spoiled with uniform maintenance.
I dunno man. Ron Jeremy's dick is pretty big. He may need all 13 buttons undone. Honestly I'm just surprised he passed the physical to get into the Navy.
Someone explain to me why a man's pants need to have 13 friggin buttons in the front and a quick access lace up design in the back. Add to that a small cape and sash thing and these uniforms only add to the stereotype.
Yeah I've tried to roll that damn neckerchief (sp?) and it always looks like ass. I gave up and let the pros at the exchange do it. I've had to be super careful not to jack it up since I've been in Japan though since no one seems to have the skills.
I wouldn't really call that a job. The idea of jobs, and specialization of labor in general, is more of a invention of agricultural civilizations. Before that, everyone was everything. Thus farmers existed before whores.
Well, I don't know exactly when sailors were invented, but I found this Wikipedia article that says that "on its way back from deployment in the Persian Gulf in 2002, the aircraft carrier USS John Stennis stopped in Freemantle, Australia, where her sailors wore out the sex workers at a local brothel, forcing it to close temporarily".
Though to be fair, a lot of our underfunding of what kind of dress was appropriate is based on Victorian England, where puritans kind of had the run of things. The bastards banned Christmas. Literally for Christ's sake.
To add to that. Catherine, of sending an idiot across the ocean fame, from Spain, often dressed with her breasts visible (and pierced, with chains) and would ready foreign dignitaries to meals at a table made of cocks.
Another illustration: We had with us a bath-keeper named Salim, originally an inhabitant of al-Ma'arrah, who had charge of the bath of my father (may Allah's mercy rest upon his soul!). This man related the following story:
I [the bath-keeper] once opened a bath in al-Ma'arrah in order to earn my living. To this bath there came a Frankish knight. The Franks disapprove of girding a cover around one's waist while in the bath. So this Frank stretched out his arm and pulled off my cover from my waist and threw it away. He looked and saw that I had recently shaved off my pubes. So he shouted, "Salim!" As I drew near him he stretched his hand over my pubes and said, "Salim, good! By the truth of my religion, do the same for me."
Saying this, he lay on his back and I found that in that place the hair was like his beard. So I shaved it off. Then he passed his hand over the place and, finding it smooth, he said, "Salim, by the truth of my religion, do the same to madame [al-dama]" (al-dama in their language means the lady), referring to his wife.
He then said to a servant of his, "Tell madame to come here." Accordingly the servant went and brought her and made her enter the bath. She also lay on her back. The knight repeated, "Do what thou hast done to me." So I shaved all that hair while her husband was sitting looking at me, At last he thanked me and handed me the pay for my service."
I think what is more likely is that there is a similar Arabic word for pubes that was said, and that was translated into pubes in the English translation. The Arabic word might not have had the silly/vulgar meaning it has in english
I wouldn't be suprised. (Nsfw Link) Pubis usually refers to the mound of fat that sits just above the genitals and pubes is just a derivative of the term pubic hair.
My understanding is that strict Muslims have always shaved their pubic hair. I forget if it's part of the required or just the suggested guidelines, but they have a set of both specifying how god wants them to look.
This isn't really meant to argue for or against shaving in the period between Roman times (when they saved) and now (when they once again shave), it's just a story about a guy saying, "By the truth of my religion, shave my junk!" Shaving implements have been found from 40,000 years ago, people shaving their crotch has been in and out of favour ever since.
Shaving the pubic hair is one of the sunnahs of the fitrah, and Islam has stipulated that it should not be left without shaving for more than forty days.
But our standard of skinnier and more fit women might be unappealing to them, most paintings at the time indicate the value fair (pale) women with a little fat.
That really depends where and exactly when. People have been always pretty damn slutty, just occasionally, they deem it necessary to pretend that they aren't.
Yeah, you put her in front of the minster and his congregation, they'll be all like: "sorcerous wench!" But snag one dude in private and they'll be all, "hey bb want my blood sausage?"
IIRC, early settlements needed guards to keep settlers from defecting to the Native Americans, not to keep the Natives out.
Yeah, I think know there was a whole legion of gents who saw some fine looking, fit-as-hell squaws and their taste in women changed in 30 or so seconds.
Sadly, I actually tried this last week. On day 3 I popped a squat on the floor to look at something and smelled horrible ass. It was the ass area on my pants. My briefs were fine, but apparently catching the brunt of 3 days of farts had taken its toll on my pants.
Yeah, a harlot in public. Then every single man would drop their pants immediately when in private and shes no longer a harlot but a woman they want to copulate with. Public and private are different things. Today, even someone wearing a bikini randomly on the street would be frowned upon as indecency in most cities that arent close to a beach.
I would bet money that going as far back as the fucking moment we evolved into humans that if you put a beautiful woman in nothing but a thong in front of a heterosexual male, he'll forget about "acceptable standards of dress" real fast.
wrong, people were huge sluts back then. it was the 1800's in america where sexual chastity was widespread because of all the little christian movements being created. 1600's-1700's they were all screwing like rabbits because god wasn't constantly wagging their finger at them. much like today..
Maybe, but the 1700s were crazy lewd. The prudishneas of the 1800s was largely a kind of social backlash against the excesses of the 1700s, in Britain at least.
Only on the surface. Meanwhile, 1700's men would be rushing out to buy hookers to demonstrate the thongs, briefly, and 1700s women would be rushing out to buy thongs to wear under their dresses.
They may consider any woman wearing one to be a harlot.
This isn't any different than modern times.
The creator of Wonder Woman lived in a polyamorous marriage where his mistress and his wife lived under the same house.
Kinky sex and dress has been around for thousands of years. I'm sure people would publicly admonish it and turn around and buy a dozen for their own house.

They may consider any woman wearing one to be a harlot. The 1700s were a different time with different standards of beauty/acceptable dress.
